In support of libraries

I believe passionately in libraries and have been horrified by the prospect of closures throughout the system as part of local government cuts. I tried to make a useful comic to help but it wound up being a bit... flawed?

I heartily agree with this comic. It's not because of blatant self bias at all... I'm training to be a librarian. These cuts will make finding a job once I graduate all the harder. Also, Bran Flakes should be around 641 in Dewey.

However, let me clarify that my snarky comments in no way indicate that I don't love this comic. I love it. It makes me feel special. Keep fighting the good fight for the benefit of the libraries in your communities!

Thanks for drawing this, and for your support of libraries! I would bet your readers are disproportionately librarian. I put it on my blog (accredited) here: http://abigailmwickes.web.unc.edu/cool-things-general-interest/john-allison-loves-libraries/
